Im more of a Warhammer Fantasy Battle fan and playing Warhammer Online but this game looks interesting and Im excited what classes you may possibly play there. What do you guys think is the equivalent for Warrior Priest in W40k? I mean not the healbot WP standing back and spam heal but real WP boosting morale of his team mates in front lines, buffing allies, debuffing enemies, dealing damage.

As I see Librarian is more of a caster type so what it would be?

Chaplain - http://www.goodwp.com/large/201104/17418.jpg
- definitely a guy who bolster morale and spread havoc but that Crozius weapon is kinda not enough dangerous to me. Do they have great hammers in their weaponry list?
Dark Knight - http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:Daemonhunter.jpg
- this one looks more like what I think should be WP incarnation in W40K but does he have some support role and abilities?
Tech Priest - like the one in this threat : the-tech-priest-t13.html
- doesnt feel like the class I described above, too much oriented on machines imo

Any other mix of holy warrior in the W40K universe?

Is it correct that the chapter playable in DMO will be Black Templars? Is there a class in that chapter which can fulfill the role.

I really hope they will create a support melee character.

Well, not really sure at this point. The Chaplain might be it. That Crozius is a power weapon on the table top. Which means it ignores armor.

If you are looking for the most direct comparrison, I would say a Ministorum Priest with a large chain sword :) Even an Imperial Commissar might be something that would interest you.

If you are looking at Space Marine only, probably the Chaplain.

That is assuming that any of thoes are playable classes :)

Yes. They were chosen because of their unique organization amongst marine chapters and the fact that their scout-equivalents are front-line fighters rather than actual scouts. The space marine class for the Imperium is specifically called "Black Templars Space Marine" last they spoke about it.

ok thanks. So if Black Templars are the chapter then there is only a Chaplain as an option. Hopefully it will be ingame and will have some 2hand hammer option.

We've already seen space marines using two-handed weapons. Whether there'll be an option for the Black Templars marine class to branch off and become a chaplain is unknown. At the very least you can be assured that playing a space marine and swinging a big hammer is planned as of last we saw.

The Ministorum Priest ( which may alternatively be a Missionary) MadDog mentioned would likely be the closest. And I'd actually like to see them in the game, played a Warrior Priestess after all.

The other things mentioned here ( or present in the lore, for that matter) don't really fit the class you described. Other than the Chaplain, and that one wouldn't be possible for the same reasons you can't be a Chaos Lord or something like that.

But yeah, Chaplain ( lalalala) and Ministorum Priest would fit your description perfectly. After all, IG regiments have Priests with them that are there for the purpose of taking care of the spiritual needs of the soldiers... to boost morale during battle... and to hack enemies to little bits with chainswords. Two-handed chainswords, preferably.
